The customary basis in much of the United States is to tip on the pre-tax subtotal, since sales tax is money the restaurant never sees and gratuity rewards service, not government revenue. Tipping on the full taxed total isn't wrong either — many people round up and don't separate the two — but on a large bill the tax portion can noticeably inflate the tip. For example, a 20% tip on a $100 subtotal is $20, but 20% of a $108 taxed total is $21.60. This Tip Calculator lets you enter your tax rate, then choose whether the tip is figured on the pre-tax amount or the full bill, so you can match whichever basis you prefer. Enter your bill and tax rate above to see both totals side by side.

An even split is simplest, but it's unfair when one person had a salad and another had steak and three drinks. The fair approach is to split by what each person actually ordered: add up each diner's items, share any dishes that were split, then divide tax and tip proportionally to each person's share rather than flatly. Doing this by hand on a receipt is error-prone, so this calculator includes an item-by-item mode. Add each line item, assign it to one or more diners, and the tool divides shared dishes and the gratuity proportionally instead of forcing a flat even split. You can split between up to 20 people, and each person's total updates live. Switch to item-split mode above to give everyone an accurate share before the card machine arrives.

Tipping norms vary by service. As a general US reference: sit-down restaurants are 15–20%, with around 25% for excellent service; food delivery runs roughly 10–20%, with a higher percentage on small orders; bartenders get about $1–2 per drink or 15–20% of the tab; taxis and rideshare are around 10–15%; and hair and beauty services are 15–20%. These are starting points, not rules — adjust for how the service actually went and for local custom. This calculator includes a service-quality guide that maps a rating to a suggested percentage, from poor (10%) up to excellent (25%), plus quick presets for the most common rates. Pick a preset or drag the custom slider above to match the situation you're tipping for.

Generally no — when a service charge or automatic gratuity (common for large parties or in many European venues) is already printed on the bill, that amount is your tip, and adding another percentage on top means you're tipping twice. Always scan the receipt for wording like "service charge," "gratuity included," or a fixed percentage before tipping again. If the included charge is small or service was exceptional, a little extra is optional, never expected. This Tip Calculator has an included-gratuity flag for exactly this situation, so you can mark that a charge is already on the bill and avoid double-tipping while still seeing an accurate per-person split. Toggle the included-gratuity setting above when your receipt already lists a service charge.

Yes, tipping customs differ a lot by country. In much of Europe a service charge is often included, so rounding up or adding 5–15% is plenty; in Japan tipping is not customary and can even be politely declined. North American norms of 15–20% don't apply everywhere, so it's worth checking local expectations before you travel. This calculator supports ten currencies — US dollar, euro, British pound, Canadian and Australian dollars, Japanese yen, Indian rupee, Chinese yuan, Mexican peso, and Swiss franc — and formats each correctly, including zero-decimal yen. It also surfaces a short tipping note tied to the region of each currency. Select your currency above to format amounts properly and see the relevant regional guidance for where you're dining.
